House of Orange
The House of Oranje-Nassau
The various generations of the Dutch Dynasty of Oranje-Nassau have built up a remarkable collection of jewels over more than 350 years. At the beginning of the dynasty, the jewels were regarded as valuable objects which symbolized power and status.
In 1968, Queen Juliana placed a number of important jewels with the Crown Property Foundation of the House of Oranje-Nassau. In this way, they remain available for use for coming generations, but may not be sold.
